New Grenville Graphite ine Proves Its IMPORTANCE It' Forces Its Own Way to Much WORLDWIDE Higher rices With the rrospect of Enormous Profits. How much the world pays tribute to GRAPHITE by this NEW AND ONLY RIVAL of the Ceylon Mine. considerable rise in stock value. has been brought vividly to notice Its effect is imminent in the first Eliminate All Other Mines. If not familiar with Graphite mining.

DO NOT COMPARE THIS GRENVILLE MINE WITH ANY OTHER KIND OF MINE. It is to be considered entirely alone. It is the first graphite bed approaching this size The recent opening of the most important bed of fine Graphite in the world has awakened an interest which is international and which will not soon abate. Canada's pride is aroused, because the bed lies within her borders. American pride is just as deep, because it is owned by an AMERICAN COMPANY -organized under the laws of Maine.

It is the MOST IMPORTANT GRAPHITE DEPOSIT EVER OPENED, because It is the first rival of the Ceylon Mine in size. It is near New York. It is easily worked. It has the world's market at hand. It produces the Finest Graphite Ever Found.

Its supply will last for centuries. The Grenville Mine should be producing large dividends when the largest Gold, Silver and Copper Mines of to-day are forgotten. Six principal beds, each 8,000 feet long and 12 feet wide, should yield in profits the gigantic sum of $280,500,000 It is proposed to take out the Graphite at the rate of 10,000 tons a year, with annual net profits to the company of $1,700,000. At this rate the beds now explored will last 165 years. This should give the stockholders annual dividends of between 25 and 40 per cent, on the par value of the stock.

The capitalization is $4,000,000. Stock bought now SHOULD THEN BE WORTH SEVERAL DOLLARS A SHARE. Already a new price level must be sought for the stock. Its present original price of Twenty-five Cents a Share was said at first to be an entirely inadequate expression of its value. As the money flows in with which to build the mills, the value of each share increases because it is THAT MUCH NEARER ITS DIVIDENDS.

The Directors liiive determined to increase the price of shares at a meeting to be held in a lew days. Definite announcement of the price thereafter cannot bo made now. This increase is but a natural movement a movement upward which will continue upward very rapidly until, it is believed, the par value of One Dollar a share will be left far behind.

"IN THE GRAPHITE MINES" For the purpose of familiarizing those interested in the subject with the details of Graphite Mining, a most interesting little book has. been prepared, called "IN THE GRAPHITE MINES." This book will" be cheerfully mailed on application. It will materially aid you in understanding the subject and the true importance of the Grenville bed. Why Graphite Values Must Continue to Rise. Not a single iron casting is taken from its sand mould without the sand being iirst faced with graphite; not a gun projectile is cast but the steel is melted in a graphite crucible; not a tool, not a saw is made but from graphite crucible steel.

Every pound 'of nickel, of copper, of composition metal or brass is cast in some way, the metal being reduced in a graphite crucible. Every printing house, for the perfection of its electrotypes, is absolutely dependent upon graphite. Every electrician and every department of electrical work comes under the same tribute. Graphite lubricates friction ways; it is notably the most enduring paint pigment; the bulk of the writing done on the globe to-day is done with a graphite pencil. It has ministered to the arts of peace and to the science war.

It saves labor and it proves a short cut to desired results. In brief, not a factor that contributes to civilization but is helped to-day by graphite. The industry is fascinating from the moment the miner drives his drill and all along the line of its being refined, until both in usefulness and beauty it reaches perfection. The electric light would shine much less easily but for graphite, and the production of steel rails is equally dependent. The beautiful mineral has peculiar characteristics.

Heat and cold, and the highest extremes of both, cannot touch It can bathe in acid as does a pebble in water. Flake or pulverized graphite 98 per cent, pure retails at 40 cents per lb. For foundry facings or polishes, according to purity, from 5 to 40 cents per lb. The finest pulverized graphite produced for lithographing or photographing purposes commands $4 per or $8,000 per ton. The average price in New York is $200 a ton.

Graphite from the Grenville Mine has been marketed at that price, while the cost of production is less than $30 a ton. opened in America, there is none like it in Europe. Small deposits have been opened and highly prized. But the Ceylon Mine has produced 90 per cent, of all the Graphite used. This is the first mine whose size approaches the Ceylon Mine.

You never before had an opportunity to invest in a mine of this character. That its stock was placed as low as Twenty-five Cents a share for the first allotment is your good fortune. It was too low. The Ceylon Mine has already produced many millions of dollars it was in operation before the Comstock Lode was discovered, Graphite mines do not work out quickly. Your investment is for your own life and your children's.

Because of the lack of precedent, no one can foretell what price the stock will reach. The Graphite in the Grenville Mine has been explored and measured. Engineers' computations show the vast number of tons 6,600,000 tons of ore. There are no remote prospects to deal with. It is a manufacturing rather than a mining proposition.

People manytimes buy stock at a low price during the organization period on the "off chance" that it may pay several hundred per cent, profits. This is the chance that will stand the strictest scientific investigation. There are no indefinite chances about the Graphite being Those desiring to subscribe for stocK. nohit and to, secure the benefit of increases from the -dery beginning" especially tvho desire to increase their holdings are adnJised to act during the present Send checKji drafts and alt communications to GRENVILLE GRAPHITE COMPANY, more likely lo be the thoughts intended by the author. This is only one of a hundred absurdities in tho present teaching of Latin.

"Nobody now knows what he is aiming for in teaching this subject. There are classes all through this state in which the teacher is drilling on pronunciation for Its ow sake, but with never a word qr a thought upon any quality of the language, as to beauty ot sound, or strength of sound or any feature of sound at all. Then why pronounce at all? In the same way, they are teaching scansion as a sort of prosodlc puzzle, or linguistic mathematics, with utter deafness to the fact that the lines they analyze are ooetry. The teachers can't lead Latin verse, why should they? Reading verse isn't taught In coll'ge. The whole thing is a smattering of unimportant things; no sense of purpose or of reward.

"How many Latin teachers do you know who can read ordinary Latin, outside of the narrow list in the curriculum, with any comfort? How could it. he otherwise, when the same round of Caesar (In part), Cicero (In part) and Virgil (in part) Is followed year after year without variations? Greek has been beaten back from an Important position in schooling to be a sixth rate power. The teachers of Latin are putting their subject in the same category Just-as rapidly as they can by their own lack of enthusiasm and by their ignorance of human interest. What th.i student needs is food: the content, of the classics. What he should have Is power to read, a feeling of, mastery and of advancement through the tc'xt.

The present teacher dawdies wilh Latin. In my boyhood days we read four times as much In the academy as they do in tho high school now. We wrote, not only orations, but verse In Latin. The teacher held discussions in Latin. We were soaked in it.

Schools seem to be afraid of it nowadays and unless some strong classic teachers ler.d a revival of it on human lines, classical study Is doomed." vote was then taken on the question whether pronouncing or translation. It both are used, should come first. The poll stood. lor pronunciation first, 43; for translation first, MILO LXXII, Secy. MOTOR CYCLE RECORDS BROKEN.

William H. Fielding was dismissed from the police force Friday night by Commissioner Greene on a charge of conduct unbecoming an officer. "Have you got five about you?" Is the question Fielding Is alleged to have asked liichard Werner, a saloonkeeper of 4411 Broadway, when he was drinking In Werner's place with two frieqds Sunday, February 8.

Werner would not say whether this was a "brace" for $0, five cigars or what, but when Werner replied In the negative. It Is alleged, the oflleer threatened him with arrest and twice the patrol wagon was called the station. Fielding was at that time plain clothes. One of his friends testified that the whole thing was done In a Joking spirit. Witness admitted that he took Fielding's keys to the patrol box from his pocket and callid the wagon.

Fielding Is a son of Sergeant James Fielding, who was one of tho brightest of the old Brooklyn force. Ho left the servic a somewhat similar way. MRS. LANG'S RECEPTION. A delightful afternoon was spent at Mrs.

Detroit, March 14 In Recorder's Court to-day Judge Murphy denied the motion for a new trial In the ease of Frank C. Andrews, the former vice president of the wrecked City Savings Bank of this city, who Is now serving a sentefiee In the state prison for misapplying and misappropriating funds of tho bank, the understanding, either conscious or unconscious, of the grammatical principles Involved In the passage.

If an instructor, after hearing a passage translated, should dlrcover from the translation that all the grammatical questions involved were understood by the student sufficiently to give an accurate rendering, he would be wasting his time and the student's to Insist upon grammatical discussion of the passage, except possibly by way of illustrative Interpretation. "On the other hand, flaws in the translation offered show at once where weakness In grammatical knowledge on the part of the student lies, and furnish occasion for such grammatical correction as is needful. In ordinary practice the preliminary reading of the text serves to show the student's acquaintance with the pronunciation and accent of the words. Of course, there is a higher kind of reading by which the sensu and effect of the passage are given In the expression. The latter would properly follow the discussion of the translation.

The former would naturally precede it. The best practice, and one becoming more frequent in our best schools, Is to require after the sense of the passage has been sufficiently elucidated, a second reading of tho passage with a view to bring out all Its qualities in the simple rendering in the original form. In Bomo of the higher grades of Instruction teachers have been known to depend for their knowledge of the student's correct understanding of the passage upon the manner In which the passage is read in the original." Professor George Whicher's Reply. nr. George Whlchcr, professor of Latin and Greek In the Normal College, New York, was called upon, lie said.

In part: "The ordinary procedure in an American class room Is based on the theory that the pupil has mastered the lesson before he comes to the recitation or. as it might fairly be called, the examination. There Is. therefore, no reason why he should not read any passage aloud unci proceed to translate It Into Knglish. Hut In order to ascertain whether the pupil has really understood the grammatical siruciuro of the passage, and Is not merely repenting a translation which he lias derived from some other sources than his dictionary, the teacher thinks it necessary to question him about the grammatical relations of the words.

"That this method can be and has been pursued quite loo vigorously in most schools Is beyond question. There should be much more use of the recitation hour as a time to give Instruction, not merely to quiz pupils on what they have already learned and can learn without the help of ihe teacher. If new passages are examined by Ihe class with the aid of the teacher, the llrst task, will assuredly be the attempt, to understand the syntactical relations of the carts of Ihe sentences. The meaning when thus evolved will then be expressed in the most appropriate Knglish at tho command of the class. Finally, when the main thought of tho passage has thus noon clearly set forth, rend ing the original words aloud will reinforce our knowledge of lis meaning and secure some part of the charm which really good literature has for tho sensitive ear as well as the umlc rstanding eye.

"Thai all this Is loo ofien neglected only shows thai teae-hcra, like other mortals, find it most convenient to follow ihe path of lenst resistance ami do as they have been used to dci. The traditional method hccii; to make the pupil do all the work: it takes some skill and reflect ion to lind out th ct the method which appears troublesome to the teacher at first will save him trouble in the end." Principal Liner's Caustic Arraignment, 1 rli'clpal O. Liner of public School No. 1 closed the discussion. lice said: "It has been my observation that every Latin and teacher I ever heard, nays'flrst, enei afte-r tin- boy has gone a ways crie Nine out of ten eannoi give tiny reason for so ami the reason of the tenili Is an niter absurdity.

He will sav tint, be has the boy real the Ijitln to 'ctise but In the ensuing translation the boy must be corrected feu errors It Is evident either that lie hasn't sensed It all or if he has sensed It he has sensed It wrong. If. on the other hanel, tie translates it first and the teacher sets him right by grammatical or other questioning then when he reads aloud In the Latin, whatever thoughts ruu through his 'tiralu are The nature and extent of these depend upon Ihe state of advancement, the usual order being questions and drill, first, upon the accidence, second, upon the syntax, and third only upon the more difficult and unusual constructions. This, too, ought to be done to an Increasing extent in the foreign language. "This order of procedure seems logical, for one can hotter answer questions upon the grammatical structure after having gotten the meaning of the passage, and this understanding of tho text comes, in turn, more easily, after one has ascertained what the passage really Is, which is to be understood.

And yet, of course, it is true that the sense is secured, usually only afier the forms, meanings and relations of the words are at least unconsciously appreciated. But that applies rather to the student's preparation of Ihe lesson than to his recitation to the Instructor, who has a right to assume that the pupil has mudled tho text. "The purposes of foreign language Instruction, however, vary so widely with the different institutions, teachers and pupil? that It Is Impossible to maintain that any one method is always 'the Dr. Gunnison's View. Principal Walter H.

Ciunnlcon of the Kras-, mus Hall High School, who 'believes that a supervising oflleer should some every day In order to keep in sympathy with the dltiiciiltlcs of those whom he is called upon to direct, plves Instruction in Latin throughout the yi nr. l'rinclpal Gunnison, In dis-cussiuk the question, said: "Professor McLouIh Is right when he says all on the object aimed at. I can sec circumstances In which either method: pronouncing first or pronouncing last, is ille bet ter one. "If ihe purpose is to get the meaning directly from the foreign language, reading In liiat language should certainly be the most important ihlng. This aim of coutbc, Is more true of the modern than of the ancient languages.

It is approved. I think, by all those most competent to Judge. But if tho aim is 10 test ihe work of the pupil done ouiside the class room, certainly the second method Ik ihe better. This method, of questioning tirsi, is peculiarly valuable In the study of the ancient languages after the llrst year, since It tends 10 overcome 10 a large degree great difficulty which all classical teachers meet, in getting tho pupils really to understand the meaning of the author. To very many of our pupils, not alone in the high school, but even In coHcrcs, the translation of an ancient classic becomes merely the translation of the words, and not an expression of the thought.

Therefore, to secure nn appreciation of this and of all the beauties of the literature, the order of quest loning, translation and pronouncing. It seems to mo, should be, and with all the beBt teachers Is, tho one prevailing." Professor Lawton's Opinion. 1'rufessor William C. Lawton of Adelphl College objected 10 any rigid formula for the conduct of a language recitation. Ho said: "II a teacher Is 10 be bound dovin to either, choose the second, that Is, question first, translate next and pronounce last, hs some chance appears that the sentence will be rend intelligently In the original.

Neither Indicates a good 'method, if the language studied Is a living one and Is to be acquired as sin translations should be at least as nltcn Into It as trom It. Easy portions of the text studied should not be translated at all, but merely read aloud with ex-ITossInn, or discussed In a general way. The discussion should as early and as largely as possible be carried on In the 'foreign' language itself. Ihe student should he encouraged to aisle the substance of each paragraph or chapter, still In the 'foreign' spcc.h. of the mo methods offered, however.

1 shoubl enthusiastically choose rn it her Professor Gonzalez Lodge's Remarks. I jr. Gonzalez Lodge, professor of Latin HiieJ Greek in Teachers' 'ollge, Columbia University, said: "An active and intelligent tiaedter will vary his nicthoel to suit his particular purpose, Grammatical questions nr" not involved in theunselves. hey are mere, ly a means of Instructing the stuelent In the rltndples 01 the language.

A Local Borbugh Principal Affirms the Decline and Early Fall of Latin Teaching. Tho Milnnhm Society fur h- free rliscus-Blou of educational problem held its regular weekly meeting lust night in the Brooklyn Teachers' Clnh House. The main discussion Ihe evening was upon method of procedure in language classes, the text being furnished by a letter of Inquiry submitted at the preccdfng meeting by a teacher of the Girls' High School. The correspondent's request was us follows: "Ancient Will you give me an opinion on mini in ihe conduct of a recitation in study In all the s-huols I have ui taught in.

Ihe teachers in Latin or or I'r. ai or Herman classes have the stu. ems fir: read a paragraph in the foreign tnngiie, then translate ii and then the teacher n-ks ihe grammatical and historical about il. Is this not the of what should be done? Should tint ihe mu Mi nhiK come first, then the translation and finally the nadins in the Greek, Latin, French or (ierman? There must he a reason tor ill'1 usual method or It would not le so common. I'leaso tell me why It is done." Professor McLouth on Language Study.

The chairman c.ilbd upon Professor Lawrence Mrl.Nfli of New York University, who staid, in part "When a so called reading method Is used In conducting a recitation for tho teaching of Latin, French or German tho order of procedure Is usually Ihe one indicated by the inquirer; reading, translation, drill, questioning. For lb" usual purposes of language Instruction as given in American high schools-that is. to enable tho student to get a clear grasp of themeaiilngef Ihe text this method Is considered by many 10 lie the best. It makes translation the main point of the exercise, tie- pronunciation and grammatical drill I. cine somewhat subsidiary, although by no nicatis uitinipnrlant.

"According 10 this method it is necessary for the pupil Hist to 11 ad the in order to bring tin- object of his consideration rlenrlv before Ills mind, and to show Ihe teacher the quality of his pronunciation Then during ai least the first two years of bis study he should be rewired to rend. the passage- Inio Idiomatic English. This Is as well nn Intellectual for him as It Ir. on Indication to ihe teacher of the pupil's ability to understand what he has read; it Is thus both a drill and an 1 xnininntlon. Then tho student should be questioned, generally, in the foreign tong ie, to Iio'v whether lie has aoMen Ihe meaning without translation.

To enable the pupil 10 get the hi rise directly from the text without the medium of his native tongue Is one of the hi si aims of Ihls or of any oilier method. As 11 thlid exercise tbe questions upon iho grammar arc asked. ANT) MRS. SAMUEL F.PHRAIM. Who Will Celebrate Their Ooldeu Wedding to-day.
